i'm particularly hopeful in the senate because we elected 20 new women to the senate. many of them democrats. i think it will make a big difference in terms of finding bipartisan support for major legislation and reaching consensus to get things done. >> how do you push that reset button? >> there's a lot of urgent issues that need to be addressed. we have the fiscal cliff in front of us. we have a tough economy we need to grow our way out of. that will need attention. we also have moral issues that really need to be addressed like gun violence in society. we have immigration reform that's so necessary for our long-term health of the nation. i think these are issues that people understand are urgent and need care and attention now. >> senator, chuck schumer said he will support chuck hagel for defense secretary. will you?h him one-on-one so i can make sure the concerns i have can be addressed. i have had a brief phone call with him on issues i care deeply about, issues of iran, with regard to women in the millitary, and implementing the don't ask don't tell repeal. >>
